The area of a triangle is expressed using the formula A=1/2bh. The area of a rectangle is A=BH. Where B is the length of the base of the rectangle. Where H is the height of the rectangle. Because a triangle, essentially, is a half of a rectangle, you find the area of the whole rectangle that the triangle comes from, then divide that in half.
